For those interested, the Auschwitz Museum will be live broadcasting at 4pm CET to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp.
‘We can observe what is happening at Ukraine’s borders and see what is happening in many parts of the world. We also feel the increase of unnecessary tensions and threatening rises of antisemitic and racist slogans. We feel a growing indifference and passivity. The world has not learned the lessons of World War II. In consultation with the President of Poland, the Museum wishes that during the 77th anniversary of liberation, marking the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the extermination of Jews at Auschwitz, politicians’ speeches be replaced by a meaningful minute of silence and reflection. We should allow only the Auschwitz Survivors to speak. Let us truly reflect on whether everyone has done everything possible to stop the spread of evil in our world.’
I didn’t that day existed huh.
With regards to the remembrance, the director of Auschwitz said this last week:
“The biggest task for remembrance today is to combat indifference. You can massacre tens of thousands of Rohingya, you can put 1.5 million Uyghurs in camps, in Yemen people are suffering because they do not have anything to eat, and we don’t feel concerned in our world.”
May Germany progress from this dark chapter to a bright and prosperous future for all.

I’ve been to Brzezinka and Oświęcim last year. It’s good that there are so many people comming to see it. I was especially suprised how many polish school groups were there.
When we got to this gate tho I was disguisted. Situation there is about the same as at Leaning Tower in Pisa. Approximately 30 people hunting photos for their Instagram accounts…. yuck.
The darkest chapter in the history of germany. We need to remember as to never forget all the people that died to these horrid crimes. To never give history a chance to repeat itself. To take the piss out of people who deny or try to justify it.
I highly suggest, for those who have not, to visit one of the KZs.
I’m surprised how this structure is still up, I would have expected them to demolish it, but it is still intresting how after such a heavy amount of time, it is still there.

Just something to think about.
